Old Brick Tavern (New Lenox, Illinois) 1927
From the Adele Fay Williams Collection of Drawings and Prints (Lewis University) Collection in CARLI Digital Collections.

Adele Fay Williams (1859-1937), an artist and writer, was one of the best know Joliet residents of her time.

In this drawing of the Old Brick Tavern in New Lenox, Illinois, a stagecoach is shown drawing up to the tavern which was a famous place in the area. The building was torn down in 1997, but a marker shows the place where it once stood. This location is considered to be a station on the underground railroad.
